Seriously they should just assassinate Putin at this point. If he's anything like Trump then half of Russia will be joyful.

Oh he's worse than Trump, in that most of russia actually worships him. He's literally not giving his country a chance to think about alternatives.

Russians overwhelmingly understand this is a defensive war for them. The most extreme delusional propaganda we are fed is that provoking this war would help overthrow Putin with pro NATO liberalism. NATO is not a purely defensive alliance desperately trying to convince Russians of love and freedom from submission to them.

Yes, I'm sure Russians believe that invading another nation and sending their children to die is "defensive." After all, they're fed the propaganda of the fascist dictator, Putin. Just as the people of North Korea are made to believe the outside world is evil...
